Lauren Sanchez, the partner of billionaire Jeff Bezos, found herself in the spotlight during Donald Trump‘s inauguration for surprising reasons.
Her outfit—a revealing white lace bra with an ivory suit—incited considerable backlash, with commentator Megyn Kelly leading the criticism.
Kelly, known for her strong opinions, criticized Sanchez, deeming her outfit unsuitable for the occasion.
On her show, the 54-year-old commentator stated, “I’ve previously mentioned that she dresses provocatively; it’s time to show some dignity and respect for the event.”
Kelly pointed out that Sanchez’s choice detracted from the event itself, adding, “Discussions should focus on the inauguration, not your revealing outfit.”
She further elaborated on her social media, remarking, “She lacks class, dignity, and respect.” Her statements sparked significant online discourse, highlighting broader debates about appropriate attire for formal occasions.
Social Media Reaction and Public Critique
Sanchez‘s outfit quickly became a trending topic, with many online users echoing Kelly‘s concerns.
One user remarked, “Lauren Sanchez is wearing a bra… Seriously? It’s not a nightclub today.” Many criticized the discord between her outfit and the day’s serious atmosphere.
Initially, she stepped out in a white mohair coat, giving off a sophisticated vibe, but once inside, she unveiled the bold attire underneath.
Her outfit reveal captured widespread attention, even catching the eye of Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, which fueled further discussions online.
This wasn’t the first time Sanchez wore such a daring outfit; she had previously donned the same look at the 2024 Forbes Power Women’s Summit, showcasing her willingness to challenge traditional fashion norms.
Additionally, the night before the inauguration, she attended a dinner with Ivanka Trump, dressed elegantly in a black Dolce & Gabbana gown.
She referred to that dinner as a “magical evening,” highlighting her flair for striking fashion statements.
While Sanchez‘s fashion choice ignited intense debate, it also brought attention to the ongoing conversation about the line between self-expression and proper attire for important events.
Regardless of whether deemed audacious or disrespectful, her clothing choice certainly kept her in the limelight.
